STUDENT PROFILE The students are selected on the basis of performance in Graduate Aptitude test in engineering(gate) along with personal interview from different engineering backgrounds viz. Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Automobile Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering and Instrumentation Engineering. Students are encouraged to take semester wise projects during the first year and M.Tech Thesis during their final year. The M.Tech thesis is meant for introduction to research work in Mechatronics and Robotics. This gives exposure to the real life problems and opportunities to explore and solve such problems effectively. The current batch of students in Mechatronics programme has taken up research projects in following areas: Shape memory alloy actuated mobile robot Locomotion and path planning of quadruped robot Human action recognition using egocentric camera Control of rotor vibration by active damping Characterisation of dielectric elastomer actuator and application Using IoT for API development using smart sensors Artificial skin sensor and glove development for force sensing Portable solar tracking mechanism ECG signal processing for e-healthcare Virtual reality in robotics to enhance haptic feedback
